1994 Map of Mount Alto

About this map

The Ohio River and Kanawha River define this corner of Mason County, where the landscape is marked by the steep ridges and deep hollows of the Appalachian Plateau. In the northern reaches, Mount Alto sits near the confluence of Mill Creek and the Ohio, while further south, the Kanawha River winds past Beech Hill and the town of Leon. The map reveals a deeply etched rural social fabric through its numerous small country churches and schools, such as Davies Grove Ch, Mt Olive Ch, and Mountain Flower Sch.
